and the horribly burned trunks of line bodit s
which were dsigured beyond recognition.
Those have been cared for bv the under
taker at Republic and will be kept long As
possible, so that friends may ider.ify them.
The responsibility of the accident is now
placed upon the freight conductor, Fletcher
who pulled out of the siding four miles west
of Republic without orders, intending to
make the siding at Republic before the pas

one mile and the ashes of the unknown VIC

The evidence closed lu, sday evening in
the case of Stale VS. Emma f Brown for
burning the barn of Della c. Becker Of Har
mony, Sent 25th The case goes to the jury
today. The defence introduced many wit
nesses to tracks between Booker's and the
woods in corroborstion of her story that a
man from the woods set the fire. These
tracks were traced by peculiar heel marks
made by iron heels One of their last wit
nesses damaged their case by testitying that
he was at work for Brown the dav before he
vert upon Booker's land, that he had iron
heels to his boots, and that he could not
swear that they would not leave their i'm
prints and the boots were not produced.
The defendants appearance is not in her
favor She has a wild and cranky look.

FARMINGToN, Jan. >.
The report of the engineers sent out by the
Canadian Pacific Railroad Company, to look
on the route for connection with the Maine
Central railroad by way of the Carrabassett
Valley, Kingfeld, Strong and Harrington in
Franklin county has been received by the
officials of the Franklin & Megantc Railroad
Company, and it is understood to be very fa-
vorablo to the line suggested. The topography
of the coun ry to the north of kingfeld and
south of Lake Megantic is found to be well
adapted to railroad construction with easy
grades. An official survey will undoubtedly
be made in the early spring. This project
means much for the business interests of the
State and Franklin and Androscoggin
counties in particular.
